Six Ayr players in BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy

The BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy was officially launched at BT Murrayfield on Saturday, and six Ayr players have been inducted into the Glasgow and the West branch of the new training programme. Men's first XV regulars Robbie Fergusson and James Malcolm are stage three players along with scrum-half Ali Price, who will be a new face at Millbrae for the 2015/16 season with stage two player Archie Russell.

Price will be familiar to Glasgow Warriors fans after some impressive appearances last season, and Russell, a Scotland under-20s cap, follows in the footsteps of older brother Finn in joining Ayr.

Calum Gaw and Gregor Paxton, who have been on excellent form for Ayr's youth teams, will be stage two players.

We wish them all the best of luck and look forward to seeing them progress!
